The present disclosure provides a sound generating device, which may be used in devices such as earphones, mobile phones, notebook computers, VR devices, AR devices, televisions, etc.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the sound generating device comprises a housing 10 (as shown in FIG. 6), a vibration system, a magnetic circuit system and other parts.

The magnetic circuit system comprises a magnetic conductive yoke 20, on which an inner magnetic circuit part and an outer magnetic circuit part are provided. The outer magnetic circuit part surrounds the inner magnetic circuit part and is spaced apart from the inner magnetic circuit part, and a magnetic gap is formed by the gap between the inner magnetic circuit part and the outer magnetic circuit part.

For example, the inner magnetic circuit part comprises a central magnet 31 and a central magnetic conductive plate 32 provided on the central magnet 31. The outer magnetic circuit part comprises an edge magnet 33. The central magnet 31 and the edge magnet 33 are provided on the magnetic conductive yoke 20, and the central magnetic conductive plate 32 is provided on the central magnet 31. An edge magnetic conductive plate may extend along the circumferential direction of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and have an annular shape, or each of two opposite sides of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 may be provided with one edge magnetic conductive plate, or each side of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 is provided with one or more edge magnetic conductive plates, etc.

The vibration system comprises a diaphragm 41 and a voice coil 42, one end of the voice coil 42 is fixed to the diaphragm 41, and the other end of the voice coil 42 extends into the above magnetic gap. The diaphragm 41 comprises a center portion 411 and an edge portion 412 surrounding the center portion 411. In addition, the diaphragm 41 may further comprise a suspension annular portion 413 located between the center portion 411 and the edge portion 412. In other examples, the diaphragm 41 has a planar structure. The diaphragm 41 is made of PEEK or other polymer materials. The center portion 411 of the diaphragm 41 is further provided with a reinforcing layer. The reinforcing layer can effectively reduce the dividing vibration of the diaphragm 41 and reduce the noise of the sound generating device.

The housing 10 extends along the outer edge of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and has an annular shape, and the housing 10 is coupled to the magnetic circuit system and the vibration system respectively. For example, the edge portion 412 of the diaphragm 41 is substantially coupled to the housing 10. That is, the housing 10 surrounds the edge portion 412 of the diaphragm 41. In addition, the housing 10 is also coupled to the magnetic conductive yoke 20 or the edge magnet 33. The housing 10, the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and the edge magnet 33 form a structure with an opening facing the diaphragm 41 together. It should be noted that the rectangular shaped housing 10 refers to a closed ring or an unclosed ring.

The sound generating device may have a rectangular shape, a circular shape, an oval shape, etc. Hereinafter, take a sound having a rectangular shape as an example to illustrate the present disclosure. As shown in the drawings, the sound generating device comprises two long sides and two short sides. The length of the long side is greater than that of the short side. The long and short sides of the voice coil 42, the diaphragm 41, the housing 10, and the magnetic circuit system correspond to the long and short sides of the sound generating device respectively.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the housing 10 extends along the edge of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and has an annular shape, and a leakage opening 111 is formed in the gap between the housing 10 and the magnetic conductive yoke 20, and the leakage opening 111 is located at a side surface of the sound generating device.

Referring to FIG. 5, the sound generating device further comprises a metal mesh 50, which covers the leakage opening 111, and a portion of the metal mesh 50 corresponding to the leakage opening 111 is provided with a plurality of air holes.

It should be noted that the metal mesh 50 refers to a mesh structure with a plurality of meshes which are air holes. The leakage opening 111 leaks air through the meshes of the metal mesh 50, so that the inner space of the sound generating device maintains sound pressure balance between inner side and the outer side, and thus there is no need to provide a leakage opening structure additionally.

The metal mesh 50 may be coupled to either of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and the housing 10, or the metal mesh 50 may be coupled to both the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and the housing 10. For example, in some embodiments, the metal mesh 50 is coupled to the magnetic conductive yoke 20 by welding or bonding.

In prior art, the mesh cloth is generally disposed on the leakage opening 111. However, since it is difficult to maintain the shape of the mesh cloth, a misalignment between the mesh cloth and the leakage opening 111 during integral injection molding or bonding may occur.

To solve the above problem, the present disclosure adopts a metal mesh, i.e., the metal mesh 50 mentioned above. On the one hand, the metal mesh 50 has large strength and hardness, and it can ensure that the metal mesh 50 has a stable shape even if the thickness of the metal mesh 50 is thin, so that the connection stability between the metal mesh 50 and the housing 10 or the magnetic conductive yoke 20 can be ensured, the misalignment between the metal mesh 50 and the leakage opening 111 can be prevented, thereby improving the yield of the products. On the other hand, the metal mesh 50 has high strength and may be used as a portion of the housing 10 at the same time, so that it can protect the structures such as the vibration system and magnetic circuit system inside the housing 10.

In an embodiment, the thickness of the metal mesh 50 is less than or equal to 0.2 mm. For example, the thickness of the metal mesh 50 may be provided as 0.2 mm, 0.115 mm, 0.1 mm, etc. The metal mesh 50 with the size in the above range has a small thickness, which can greatly reduce the space occupation of the device.

Referring to FIGS. 16 and 17, the case where the metal mesh 50 is coupled to the magnetic conductive yoke 20 is described as an example to illustrate the present disclosure. Specifically, the metal mesh 50 comprises a cover section 51 and a connection section 52. The connection section 52 is coupled to the surface of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 away from the housing 10, the cover section 51 covers the leakage opening 111, and the cover section 51 is provided with a plurality of air holes. In this embodiment, the connection section 52 and the cover section 51 are combined to form an approximate L-shaped structure. The connection section 52 is provided on the surface of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 away from the housing 10, which can limit the movement of the whole metal mesh 50 towards the housing 10. In order to ensure the strength, the connection section 52 may not be provided with air holes, and only the cover section 51 may be provided with a plurality of air holes. That is, the connection section 52 is a plate body without holes, and the cover section 51 is a meshed plate. Of course, the connection section 52 may also be provided with air holes if necessary.

In addition, the connection section 52 is coupled to the magnetic conductive yoke 20 by welding or bonding.

In an embodiment, the surface of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 away from the housing 10 is provided with an escape groove 21, and the connection section 52 is located in the escape groove 21. It should be noted that the connection section 52 is adapted to the escape groove 21. That is, the connection section 52 may be substantially in contact with the groove wall of the escape groove 21, and the connection section 52 and the escape groove 21 are coupled with each other, thereby limiting the movement of the connection section 52. Optionally, the surface of the connection section 52 away from the housing 10 is on the same plane with the surface of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 away from the housing 10, or the surface of the connection section 52 away from the housing 10 is lower than the surface of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 away from the housing 10. On the one hand, the escape groove 21 can limit the movement of the connection section 52 to prevent the connection section 52 from moving along the plate surface of the magnetic conductive yoke 20. On the other hand, the connection section 52 is prevented from protruding outside the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and occupying too much space of the device, thereby ensuring the miniaturization of the sound generating device. In addition, since the connection section 52 is formed of metal, the escape groove 21 at the magnetic conductive yoke 20 may be filled to ensure the magnetic conductive effect of the magnetic conductive yoke 20.

In an embodiment, the vibration system further comprises a support piece 60, which is located at one end of the voice coil 42 close to the magnetic conductive yoke 20, and the support piece 60 is electrically connected to the voice coil 42. The magnetic conductive yoke 20 is provided with an escape hole 22 corresponding to the support piece 60, and the connection section 52 covers the escape hole 22. The escape hole 22 provides an escape space for the vibration of the support piece 60. In the embodiment provided with the escape groove 21, the escape hole 22 is provided at the bottom of the escape groove 21.

For the embodiment in which the sound generating device has a rectangular shape, each of the four corners of the sound generating device is provided with one support piece 60, and each of the four corners of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 is provided with one escape hole 22. In this way, the connection section 52 may be an integral plate body, which covers all of the four escape holes 22, or the connection section 52 has a ring structure, a cross structure, etc.

In an embodiment, the sound generating device has a rectangular shape, and each of the two short sides of the sound generating device is provided with one leakage opening 111, and each leakage opening 111 is provided with one metal mesh 50 correspondingly. The formation of two leakage openings 111 can enhance the overall pressure relief effect.

In this embodiment, the connection section 52 comprises two cover plates and a connection plate connecting the two cover plates. The two cover plates are provided corresponding to the two escape holes 22, which can reduce the area of the connection section 52 and the cover area of the escape groove 21, so as to ensure the strength of the magnetic conductive yoke 20.

In order to ensure the accurate alignment of the metal mesh 50 and the leakage opening 111, in an embodiment, an insertion port 112 is provided at the housing 10 and the side wall of the leakage opening 111, and the metal mesh 50 is inserted into the insertion port 112. Specifically, both the surface of the housing 10 facing the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and the adjacent surface thereof are provided with the insertion port 112. During assembly, the metal mesh 50 is inserted from the side where the magnetic conductive yoke 20 is located to the side where the housing 10 is located, the cover section 51 of the metal mesh 50 moves towards the housing 10 along the edge of the magnetic conductive yoke 20, and is inserted into the insertion ports 112 at the hole flange at the opposite sides of the leakage opening 111, and the cover section 51 moves towards the housing 10 along the insertion ports 112, and is inserted into the insertion ports 112 at the surface of the housing 10 facing the magnetic conductive yoke 20 finally. In this way, the contact area between the metal mesh 50 and the housing 10 can be ensured, and the displacement of the metal mesh 50 can be better limited.

Referring to FIG. 2 again, in an embodiment, the edge of at least one of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and the housing 10 is provided with a plurality of stop walls 113, and the stop walls 113 of one of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and the housing 10 extend towards and abut on the other one of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and the housing 10, wherein the leakage opening 111 is formed by the space between adjacent two stop walls 113.

For example, the housing 10 is provided with a plurality of stop walls 113, which extend towards the side where the magnetic conductive yoke 20 is located and abut on the magnetic conductive yoke 20. The interval between some stop walls 113 may be covered by the edge magnet 33, and the interval between other stop walls 113 may form the leakage opening 111.

In the rectangular sound generating device, the edge magnet 33 at the long side blocks the interval between the adjacent two stop walls 113, and the interval between the two stop walls 113 at the short side forms the leakage opening 111.

The stop walls 113 can ensure that the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and the housing 10 are provided to be spaced apart from each other to form the leakage opening 111 and thus it is unnecessary to form a hole on the magnetic conductive yoke 20. In addition, the stop walls 113 can limit the movement of the edge magnet 33 by abutting on the edge of the edge magnet 33.

In addition, the leakage opening 111 may also be formed by the housing 10, the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and the edge magnet 33 together.

In an embodiment, a plurality of groups of locating structures 114 are formed between the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and the housing 10. Each group of locating structures 114 comprises two stop walls 113 provided at the housing 10 and one stop wall 113′ provided at the magnetic conductive yoke 20. The stop wall 113′ of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 is clamped between the two stop walls 113 of the housing 10. The leakage opening 111 is formed by the interval between adjacent two groups of the locating structures 114.

In the same group of the locating structures 114, the three stop walls 113 form a mutually stopper structure, so they can restrain each other to prevent relative movement. Meanwhile, the stop wall 113′ at the magnetic conductive yoke 20 is coupled to the two stop walls 113 at the housing 10 to form a complete stop wall 113, thereby preventing a gap formed therebetween.

In this embodiment, the stop wall 113 at the housing 10 forms a hole flange of the leakage opening 111, and the stop wall 113 is provided with the insertion port 112, which extends in the arrangement direction of the housing 10 and the magnetic conductive yoke 20.

The above housing 10 may be formed of or a plastic, or the housing 10 may be formed as a combination of metal and plastic. The structure of the housing 10 is described in detail below through two embodiments, but it is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 14, in an embodiment, the housing 10 comprises a case portion 12 and a mounting portion 15. The case portion 12 is a metal part, the case portion 12 extends along the outer edge of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and has an annular shape, the surface of the case portion 12 facing the magnetic conductive yoke 20 is provided with an escape notch 144, and the escape notch 144 penetrates through the outer edge of the case portion 12 outwardly. The mounting portion 15 is provided in the escape notch 144, and the mounting portion 15 may be a part formed of plastic and is integrally molded with the case portion 12 by injection molding.

Generally, the housing 10 in prior art is a part formed of plastic. Due to the low coefficient of heat conduction of the plastic part, its heat dissipation performance is poor, which easily affects the sound output effect of the sound generating device. In view of the above, the case portion 12 of the housing 10 in the embodiments of the present disclosure is formed of metal, i.e., the metal housing 10. Due to the high coefficient of heat conduction of the metal, the housing 10 can better dissipate heat, so that the heat dissipation effect of the sound generating device can be improved.

Referring to FIGS. 6 to 11, in an embodiment, the case portion 12 is formed by a combination of a plurality of parts. For example, the case portion 12 comprises a metal ring 13 and an annular magnetic conductive plate 14 which are stacked one on another, the metal ring 13 extends along the edge portion 412 and is coupled to the edge portion 412, and the annular magnetic conductive plate 14 is provided on the edge magnet 33. Here, the metal ring 13 and the annular magnetic conductive plate 14 are molded separately, and are assembled finally, for example, the metal ring 13 and the annular magnetic conductive plate 14 are bonded or welded together. Of course, the metal ring 13 and the annular magnetic conductive plate 14 may also be integrally molded. In addition, the metal ring 13 and the annular magnetic conductive plate 14 are stacked one on another, which means that both of them has an annular shape, and the ring-shaped main portions of them are attached to each other.

The annular magnetic conductive plate 14 surrounds the periphery of the central magnetic conductive plate 32 and is spaced apart from the central magnetic conductive plate 32, and the gap formed between them and the gap formed between the edge magnet 33 and the central magnet 31 together constitute the above magnetic gap. In this embodiment, the annular magnetic conductive plate 14 not only has the effect of magnetism conduction, but also may be used as a portion of the housing 10, so that it can protect the vibration system and magnetic circuit system inside the housing.

The metal ring 13 and the annular magnetic conductive plate 14 may be made of metal material such as copper, iron, nickel, etc. Metal materials have the characteristics of fast heat conduction and good heat dissipation effect. This makes the temperature of voice coil 42 and the surface temperature of the sound generating device lower and the temperature resistance better under the same power of the sound generating device.

In this embodiment, the annular magnetic conductive plate 14 does not completely cover the metal ring 13. For example, a portion of the outer edge of the annular magnetic conductive plate 14 is provided with the escape notch 144, and the metal ring 13 has a mounting area 131 exposed by the escape notch 144. The escape notch 144 in this embodiment may be a structure penetrating through two opposite surfaces of the annular magnetic conductive plate 14 in the vibration direction of the vibration system, wherein the vibration direction of the vibration system is the vibration direction of the diaphragm 41, i.e., the arrangement direction of the magnetic conductive yoke 20 and the diaphragm 41. In this way, a portion of the surface of the metal ring 13 facing the magnetic conductive yoke 20 may be exposed at the position where the escape notch 144 is provided.

The mounting portion 15 is provided in the mounting area 131, and the mounting portion 15 is a plastic part and is integrally molded with the metal ring 13 and the annular magnetic conductive plate 14 by injection molding. The metal ring 13 and the annular magnetic conductive plate 14 are placed at their respective positions in the injection mold before injection molding, then the injection molding material is injected into the mold, and fills the escape notch 144 at the mounting area 131, and a fixed connection is formed therebetween after the injection molding material is cured, so that the mounting portion 15 is formed.

In this embodiment, the mounting portion 15 fills the position of the escape notch 144, so that the escape notch 144 may be fully filled, thereby ensuring the integrity of the housing 10, and preventing an opening formed therein. The escape notch 144 provides a space for accommodating the mounting portion 15 and prevents the housing 10 from becoming too thick at the position where the mounting portion 15 is provided. In addition, the mounting portion 15 may be in contact with the mounting area 131 at the metal ring 13 and the edge of the escape notch 144 at the annular magnetic conductive plate 14 simultaneously, thereby connecting the metal ring 13 and the annular magnetic conductive plate 14 simultaneously, so that the relative movement between the metal ring 13 and the annular magnetic conductive plate 14 is prevented. In addition, by providing the plastic mounting portion 15 on the housing 10, it may be used to form some more complex structures by injection molding.
